The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 74

Jian Ying’an scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth.

She certainly wouldn’t care what her fans called her; nothing was as sweet as Mianmian calling her ‘Jiejie’.

As for Wen Wan, she did have an impression of her.

All the guests present were from the entertainment industry, but there was a difference between being a major star and an eighteen-line nobody.

Jian Ying’an was considered a major star, and while Wen Wan wasn’t exactly eighteen-line, she was at most a third-tier celebrity.

Wen Wan was also an actress and had played many roles, but none of them had gained significant popularity.

She appeared placid, with a ‘quiet as a chrysanthemum’ personality. However, unlike Jian Ying’an, who had Jiang An-Yan as a background from her debut and received good resources, Wen Wan did not.

So, she had been involved in some scandals and tried to piggyback off the popularity of other celebrities’ fans.

Because Wen Wan didn’t like to explain herself and seemed to have a very good personality, she developed a low-key career, settling as a third-tier star.

And that was likely her limit.

When she joined this dating show, she originally intended to cooperate honestly with her filming partner. At least, yesterday, Wen Wan didn’t deliberately try to get close to Jian Ying’an like she was doing now.

Jian Ying’an guessed that this must be advice from Wen Wan’s company.

She really does listen to her company, doesn’t she?

When Jiang An-Yan heard Wen Wan’s words, she glanced over. If the camera wasn’t focused on her, she would have directly complained to Jian Ying’an.

What kind of short-sighted company looks down on her, an established movie queen?

However, Jiang An-Yan stopped her previous initiative, continuing to eat her breakfast as if she hadn’t heard anything.

Mianmian must be angry, Jian Ying’an thought.

After taking a sip of her porridge, she heard Wen Wan continue: “I’m a fan of yours, too. I’ve watched the dramas you’ve acted in, practically staying up all night to follow them.”

Qin Mianmian replied, “Is that so? I also like the dramas Jiejie acts in.”

“But I get jealous.”

Qin Mianmian’s straightforwardness stunned everyone present.

Qin Mianmian answered very directly: “Although I know it’s just a TV show, when others like Jiejie, I still feel unhappy and sad.”

“I really want Jiejie to be just mine. I’m willing to accompany her through the mundane, and be loyal to her.”

“I love Jiejie the most!”

Facing their astonished expressions, Qin Mianmian laughed.

“But Jiejie loves acting, so I respect her, because I know how much effort she puts into playing a good role.”

“I can totally understand that you’re a fan of Jiejie.”

The others looked strangely at Wen Wan.

In the industry, using the excuse of being a fan to build a relationship was common, but one was still a celebrity and an actor.

What do you mean, ‘I can totally understand that you’re a fan of Jiejie?

It sounded like she was implying that Wen Wan was inferior to Jian Ying’an, which was why she worshipped her like a fan.

If she were a real fan, it would be fine, but Wen Wan didn’t seem like a genuine fan at all.

Otherwise, at the first sight of her, she would have tried to get closer to ask for an autograph, and her reaction would have been more intense.

Look at Qin Mianmian; because she liked Jian Ying’an, she directly said such a thing.

This dating show really brought in the genuine article.

Their direct display of affection made the other guests feel absurd.

If they were to do it, it would just be manufactured sweetness or cheesy, but was it because these two were serious?

They couldn’t compete, simply couldn’t compete.

Wen Wan didn’t feel embarrassed: “You really like An’an, don’t you?”

Qin Mianmian’s smile disappeared. She hesitated, wanting to say how much she disliked hearing Wen Wan call her “An’an.”

Saying it would be impolite, so she reluctantly held back.

Jian Ying’an finished her meal: “Fans like to call me An’an, but I want to change the address because it sounds like a child, and I personally prefer to ‘grow up’ more.”

Wen Wan: “Then what should I call you?”

Jian Ying’an looked at Qin Mianmian. She didn’t really care what others called her.

But Mianmian didn’t like it.

Jian Ying’an: “Just call me ‘Hey’.”

It sounded like a joke and successfully lightened the atmosphere.

After breakfast, someone suggested going to the third-floor lounge, which had board games, a mini-movie theater, and all sorts of entertainment facilities.

Jian Ying’an found Wen Wan.

There were no cameras nearby, so she didn’t have to worry about misinterpretation and skipped the unnecessary steps in her speech: “Doesn’t your company know the news yet? I’ve been blacklisted. It’s useless to try and create buzz with me.”

Wen Wan genuinely didn’t know. In this program, the most popular were Jiang An-Yan and Jian Ying’an.

But Jiang An-Yan was an established senior, and only Jian Ying’an was a popular A-list female star.

So, the company had told her to try and piggyback on Jian Ying’an’s popularity.

Wen Wan was a bit surprised to hear this.

But… I’ve already tried to piggyback on your popularity, so why should I care if you’ve been blacklisted or not?

Although she thought this, Wen Wan didn’t say it: “Then this program of yours?”

Jian Ying’an: “Even if it can’t air, I won’t refund the money.”

Wen Wan: “…” If it truly escalated to the point where it couldn’t air, that would be another story.

Wen Wan apologized: “I’ve caused you trouble. I’ll make sure to control myself from now on.”

Jian Ying’an: “I only came to tell you that your company is truly useless. They couldn’t make someone popular after so many years, and they can’t even pick the right person to piggyback off of, making you shoulder unknown risks.”

“Change companies.”

Jian Ying’an left after saying this.

Jian Ying’an’s thought from yesterday was correct: in order to foster relationships between the “CPs,” the production team arranged an outing.

Qin Mianmian curved her eyes, a smile spreading across her lips.

With her cherry lips and delicate nose, plus the bun and airy bangs Jian Ying’an styled for her, she looked like a doll in a showcase.

The thought of going out with Jian Ying’an as a couple made her involuntarily happy.

This counted as an open and honest date, witnessed by the audience.

Although it lacked a bit of privacy, Qin Mianmian couldn’t care less right now. Because she had always called Jian Ying’an ” Jiejie,” she wanted to use this opportunity to change her address.

For example, An’an.

She didn’t like Wen Wan calling her An’an because she had wanted to use that address for a long time.

Since they were now in a couple relationship, she couldn’t keep calling her Jiejie, so it could only be An’an.

With a change in address, would the goal be far off?

She must use this variety show to get Jian Ying’an to confess to her!

She wanted to be with Jian Ying’an legitimately and openly!

Jian Ying’an had three-dimensional facial features and was very recognizable in the entertainment industry. Being with the exquisite “doll” created a visually impactful tension.

No wonder so many viewers liked them after the first episode.

Who doesn’t like beautiful women?

Especially two beautiful women; when they were together, it was even more pleasing to the eye.

Jian Ying’an’s silent tenderness.

Qin Mianmian’s subtle stirring of the heart.

Going out as a couple, of course, meant time alone.

Each pair went to a different destination. In the car en route, the staff prepared a few questions.

“You two have known each other for a long time, right? How did you meet?”

The Internet has a memory.

As the CP fans of the two expanded, some also found a variety show they had been on before.

They were only six years old at the time.

Six-year-old Jian Ying’an was already like a little adult, capable of taking care of Qin Mianmian.

And the Qin Mianmian of that time was innocent and naive, melting the hearts of a crowd of people.

Through that variety show, and Jian Ying’an’s answer in the first episode, the audience knew Jian Ying’an had been abandoned by her parents.

Jian Ying’an’s background was challenging.

How did they meet? How did they end up together?

Qin Mianmian quieted down. Her head drooped slightly, revealing a section of her neck, which was as translucent and lustrous as jade.

She didn’t want to answer this question.

Jian Ying’an’s voice sounded like she was narrating a scroll: “Through destiny.”

The staff became interested: “Oh?”

Jian Ying’an was beautiful; just a slight smile could captivate people. She said, “It truly is destiny. Other than fate, I can’t think of how it could be such a coincidence that I got to know her.”

“But I am very grateful for destiny.”

Staff: “Don’t you feel self-conscious about your own birth?”

Jian Ying’an looked perplexed: “What is there to be self-conscious about regarding my birth? Didn’t I arrive in this world healthy?”

Qin Mianmian looked up, her gaze meeting Jian Ying’an’s. She saw her reflection in Jian Ying’an’s deep, dark eyes.

Jian Ying’an narrated.

“I can see.” The person I love.

“I can hear.” Mianmian’s every declaration of love.

“I can embrace.” To leave myself with no regrets.

Jian Ying’an curved her lips upward: “So I am quite satisfied with my life.”

The staff saw the bright light in Jian Ying’an’s eyes.

And the emotion written all over Qin Mianmian’s face.

Jian Ying’an really knows how to flirt.

Jian Ying’an looked at Qin Mianmian with every word she spoke, watching her reaction. Those words were meant for her.

The staff was very curious about the destiny Jian Ying’an spoke of, but no matter how they asked afterward, Jian Ying’an would change the subject with other words.

They were about to reach their destination.

The staff could only give up: “Let’s talk about today’s destination first.”

An orphanage.

The children here are all fatherless and motherless, left alone in this world for various reasons.

Most were abandoned.

Situations where parents died in an accident, leaving only the children, are rare because they usually have other relatives to care for them. Here, most of the children were not loved by their parents from birth.

They could not experience a father’s or a mother’s love.

The children were told in advance that someone would be visiting them and stood together obediently.

The light in their eyes never disappeared, even though they had been abandoned.

The staff said in the car:

“If you two were together, you’d likely adopt a child in the future, right? Would you like to take a look around the orphanage?”

“I think Teacher Jian will be more caring towards these children because of her own background.”

Jian Ying’an met their eyes, saying nothing.

In a way, she was indeed abandoned by her parents, including Qin Mianmian.

Seeing these pure and kind children, she suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Jian Ying’an hadn’t considered adoption. Her inner territory was very small, only enough to hold Mianmian. Rather than adopting a child in the future and not being able to give enough affection, it was better to simply abandon the thought.

The program team actually brought them to an orphanage.

Jian Ying’an had wondered in her previous life why that nanny took her to the countryside.

Why not just drop her off at the orphanage door? That would guarantee the Qin family couldn’t find her, and she could have lived a carefree life.

And she wouldn’t have had to see Qin Mianmian.

But after being reborn, she never thought about that question again.

How could she possibly not see Qin Mianmian?

Seeing these children, the memories of her past life became clear again. She looked at Qin Mianmian and noticed that Qin Mianmian’s expression was one of surprise, and also contained some complex emotions.

They must have both been thinking the same thing.

The two tacitly remained silent.

The director introduced them: “These two older sisters have come to visit you. Hurry and call them Jiejie.”

Large and small voices rang out: ” Jiejie!”

The slightly older children knew that these two sisters looked very young and couldn’t possibly be here to adopt them, so they followed the director’s instructions and showed them around.

The younger children didn’t know. In their innocent minds, the two sisters were just very pretty, and they liked them.

These children weren’t even as tall as Jian Ying’an’s leg. They asked: ” Jiejie, did you also come from an orphanage?”
